wasps

Whilst enjoying an outdoor breakfast (I was on holiday) a wasp started buzzing around me, seemingly attracted to my very sweet and unidentifiable fruit juice. Neither wafting or ignoring the wasp, made it go away and then somewhat inevitably it flew into the fruit juice. It appeared to be swimming, although I couldn’t be sure.

After about a minute, it dawned on me that the wasp wasn’t going to make it out of this fruit juice alive. I’m not someone who can sit idly by and watch a creature die, so I moved the glass out of sight.

I didn’t, I decided the best course of action was to scoop the wasp out with my tea spoon and put it on the table. This wasn’t overly appreciated by everyone I was with, as apparently the wasp, given a second chance at life may have stung us. As it happened it just flew off.

The only downside, was that in the confusion of saving a life and my poor short-term memory, when it came to my next cup of tea I used the waspy spoon.
